didnt we have a poster here only a week or so ago who wanted to take over an existing or start a card shop.

and everyone told him not to bother ??
is there any money in it ? my daughter used to make cards themed to the individual(s) but gave up as she wasnt making any money out of it.

Just for a bit of fun, lets start a bar, with all the facilities......
there will be plenty of time to be soaking up the sun on the beach, its easy peasy

That is what it is all about, enjoyment.

To be honest Domino i dont think starting any business up anywhere at the min is a good idea unless you have a very lucky break and get that niche that everyone is looking for - well if they can - good luck is what i would say to them xxxxx

No i dont make much money - but it is self funding xxxxx

I think thats a brill idea - where abouts do you think would be the ideal place xxx

It sure is and it keeps me out of trouble - well almost xxx

As a matter of interest the lady friend of mine who had thoughts about going into the bra business decided instead to run a bar, as much for the experience and satisfaction of doing it successfully as for any other reason.
She had been involved in other businesses before and was fully aware of what was involved in this case.
The bar she singled out,she already knew very well and one of the big advantages was that it was the only bar on a sizeable complex with no serious competition close by.

I mucked in a bit myself at busy times and quite enjoyed the experience.
Her biggest hurdle was sorting out the numerous legalities and red tape which took quite a while to complete.
It was a fair bit of work and quite a few late nights though we never needed to open up early on a morning except for deliveries.
The bar was full almost every night and a few side attractions helped pull in the punters.
She ran it quite successfully for three or four years which is all she originally intended before selling it on at a profit to one of a number of prospective buyers who likewise were aware of its potential.

I could give other examples of ppl I knew who had great success in similar businesses but likewise they were well experienced and knew the businesses and what they were all about very well before jumping in.

Oh, I'll be alright then plenty of experience from uni,
presumably you will get all the permissions and thingys handed over with the bar so plenty of time to get down the beach every day, only need to be open for a few hours in the evening.
presume the beer comes in on a regular basis cos they know how much we use, same for the food so its all sorted

saw some advertised in the small ads of Ideal in Granada, theres lots of tourists there so things will be really humming.

Unfortunately not quite so simple and I refer to serious practical experience as well as lots of know how plus dogged determination.

The cases I refer to happened long before the present crisis and how well or badly those same businesses are doing now I haven't a clue.

Very Good!

I expect there'll be no shortage of happy campers queuing up to join you in this fantastic new venture then ?
Piece of cake,eh ?

that could be a goer - there's only one music based summer camp in the whole of Spain according to my dd, who has been nagging to go for a couple of years

way too expensive though

how much would you be paying?

for the priviledge, I mean

I just bet you would !

On the down side I don't think it would be too long before your soundproof house became an open air concert hall after being hit with a barrage of rocks through the windows and roof.

Has it never crossed your mind that many folk live out in the country for very good reasons, such as peace and quiet for instance ???
Do you know just how far sound can travel over open countryside ?

I can hear the racket at fiesta time from various villages several kms away which is not so bad once in a while, but to have it blasting away almost nonstop all year round may just upset a few folk incl. myself and have them round your house PDQ to return the favour.

I can see you're ready for your siesta again!

Is it OK if we build a giant sound proof dome over the whole place? I'm sure Domino can fix that!
